Persona Profile: C'pouk

Writer: Mikel

Name: C'pouk
Age: 34
Birthday: m4 d16
Rank: Wingrider, Rapids Wing
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr

Physical Description of Persona:
C'pouk stands only about 5'8" and has been teased about his height his whole life. Even his kid brother Matril stands almost five inches taller than he. To counter this he worked extra hard on his physique. His broad shoulders and narrow hips give evidence to the strength he can exhibit when the need arises. His hair would be bright red, a gift from his mother's side of the family, if it were not saved bald, to better fit under his flight helmet.

Emotional Description of Persona:
C'pouk is never "just fine". His attitude and his emotions are always at extremes. Either quiet and withdrawn, or boisterous and outgoing, it is easy to tell how he is feeing. He wears his feeling on his shoulder as boldly as his knots. At first glance C'pouk would strike you as shy and retiring. And if he is in a group of newly met people he is indeed very shy: almost painfully so. However, once he reaches a certain comfort level, he will work his way into any party and become an active member. Never known as the life of the party, he is always remembered as being a high light of the party.

The only times this is real issue for C'pouk is when Uitgaandth chases a green. Invariably C'pouk wakes to fine somebody in his bed, and he is never comfortable meeting someone that way.

C'pouk is a voracious reader, devouring any book he can get his hands on. He can often be found in his favorite chair on the ledge of his upper level weyr over looking the ocean, either staring at the sea, or reading a book. His favorites are on the history of Pern, to which his knowledge of minutia is encyclopedic.

History of Persona:
Cilpouk was born the day after his father walked the tables to receive his Master's knots. Despite such an auspicious birthday day, it became apparent that he was most definitely not cut out for life as a Smith.

During his 15th Turn he was rescued from a possible life of ineptitude when he was Searched for a clutch on the grounds at River Bluff Weyr. The fact that he was not only passed by every dragonette on the grounds, but also had his leg gashed from hip to knee when he failed to get out of the way of a bronze stumbling to his lifemate did nothing to deter him from staying on at the Weyr rather than return to the Smith Hall and being an embarrassment to his father. At least in the Weyr he felt accepted, even as little more than a drudge between Hatchings.

And on that glorious day when his eyes met Uitgaandth's everything else faded to insignificance. This was his calling, Uitgaandth complimented him so completely that for the first time in his life C'Pouk (never again Cilpouk) felt WHOLE.

Dragon's Name: Uitgaandth
Dragon's Age: 14
Dragon's Hatching Date: m7 d17
Dragon's Colour: Brown
Description of Dragon:
Uitgaandth is a dark brown, his upper surfaces almost black while his undersides are somewhat paler. Uitgaandth is a very out going dragon, very popular with the children of the Weyr who often gather when he is bathing in the Weyrlake. Uitgaandth is more than content to allow the children to climb his bulk and use him as a diving platform. C'pouk is more than content to have many extra hands to clean Uitgaandth.

Pets

Dorato, Gold Firelizard: aged 18, hatched m12 d21
Dorato is a bold little rascle, the color of beach sand. Normally she remains very close to C'pouk and Uitgaandth, only vanishing for any length of time to hide the many cluthes she has lain since hatching. C'pouk has never found any of them.

When C'pouk and Uitgaandth prepare to fly thread, she wants to flies with them, clutching to Uitgaandth's riding harness, until C'pouk chases her off.
